Eye parasite?

[AKKADIAN]

If it were me, I would set up a small hospital tank, and keep the Oscar in that...I would does that tank with salt. I would also do a 15 minute salt bath with a higher dosage of salt.
The idea behind it is that these parasites are freshwater parasites and do not tolerate salt - or so it was explained to me.

On a different topic, but slightly related, my Oscar had a bad case of pop-eye that would not heal. It eventually started turning green and he stopped eating (he was also blind in that eye). I ended up sedating him and removing the eye. Six months later, he’s fine - less one eye.

I’m confused on how my fish were even exposed to these parasites. I have not added a new fish in about a year so their has not been any new introductions of anything. Can parasites just grow from nothing in tank water? If not then it doesnt make senses how i would have a parasite in my tank

also the cure i used was API fungus cure which said its treatment works for eye flukes as well. the oscars eye is better but i still feel as though he is blind. their is no longer any “crust” on his eye but it is still cloudy and he doesnt respond the same way he used to when i walk up to the tank. him and all the other fish would swim up to me but now no fish swims up to me anymore. my black Oscar will but not with nearly as much energy.

Not sure. From an insect. Maybe traveled on some decor/plants. With some water that may have been sitting somewhere. Or something in the fish that’s slow growing and migrated to the eye. Just guesses.
